Nividia Joining Hands with Intel to Enrich the Nettop’s Graphics; Then Netbooks?

If you remember few days ago, Nvidia emphasized on watching the netbook market but not entering in it. Well, yet this report is right but, I think Nvidia has started to check out the possibility of success in the smaller market of Atom-based nettops before entering to the bigger market of Netbook laptops.

According to the latest report, Nvidia with the cooperation of Intel is developing Nvidia's MCP79 chipset to support Atom-based nettops to enhance their graphics performance from the least level to more practical level.

So far, all the Atom-based nettops and netbooks have used Intel integrated graphics which is only enough for the least requirements. As Netbooks like mobile phones are becoming essential everyday mobile device for people, a more developed graphics can develop the functionality of these devices more.

Apparently, first, the Nvidia’s chipset will be examined on nettops. Surely, after getting the appropriate reponse, Nividia and Intel will target Netbooks.
